Diarists become historians when their lives are touched by
momentous events, whether fleeing the Great Fire of London, or
hiding in an attic from the Nazi's. My grandfather Harry Barrett
Pratt was born in 1890 in the North East of England. He oiled the
wheels of Sir Thomas Lipton's grocery empire throughout the
turbulent first half of the 20th Century, broken only by military
service during WW1, which took him to the lesser known theatre of
war in East Africa. He was a workaholic, intent on providing for
his family. From shop floor to Board of Directors, he was a company
man. He had the ear and respect of Sir Thomas. His career span two
world wars and the financial depression He kept a meticulous diary
during those years, which gives a fascinating insight into the
impact of global conflict on a nation. This is a tribute to a
generation.
